TIPS FOR SCHOOL

Participate:

-Engage the teacher in conversation.

-Raise your hand for every question.

-Start a discussion.

-The more engaged you are with the lecture, the more you’ll want to concentrate on it.

Get a Good Night’s Sleep:

For maximum concentration, make sure you’ve slept at least eight hours. Your concentration will be almost gone if you’re not fully rested for class. Get some shut-eye!

Change It Up:

If you can feel your ability to concentrate starting to slip, then change something. Get a new pen from your bag. Cross your other leg. Stretch. Tense and flex your muscles. Take a moment to give yourself a brief break from the monotony. You’ll be surprised how well this works to get you back on track.

Take Good Notes:

Get your pen working to keep your mind focused.

Sit Near The Front:

Sitting in the front of the class helps to concentrate because it takes away any distractions (whispers, texters, coughers, etc) in front of you.
